So there I was, this 2nd day of July in the pagan year of 2017, minding my own business.  I was enjoying to fiddle with restoring/fixing up/fiddling with my old 1969 Alaskan camper.  Whilst sitting in a folding chair on the sidewalk, eating lunch, I spied 2 "clumping" black bamboo escapees!  Well, to ME, bad back or not, one has to deal with this when spotted as procrastination surely makes it worse!

THIS is what happens to "clumping" black bamboo that misbehaves!
